44 WBI - HUP Cooperation - Bach Mai Hospital 44 Could we use higher doses than recommended? The recommended dosage regimen for TYGACIL is an initial dose of 100 mg, followed by 50 mg every 12 hours. Intravenous infusions of TYGACIL should be administered over approximately 30 to 60 minutes every 12 hours.

45 Could we use higher doses than recommended? WBI - HUP Cooperation - Bach Mai Hospital 45

46 WBI - HUP Cooperation - Bach Mai Hospital 46 When do we use tigecycline? skin and skin structures / abdominal infections with multi-resistant organisms susceptible to tigecyline Because of increased mortality compared to other antibiotics, tigecycline uts only be used when alternatives are not available
